LIMNINGS.

John Bright may have invented Bright's disease, and as Bill Nye would remark, his work is justly eel ebrated, but this should not have in- duced General Fairchild to claim the invention of palsy. General Fair child is doubtless an able man and q very courteous gentleman, but he should not be extravagant in his de- sire to rival Mir Bright.
 Richard A. Proctor, in the July Metropolitan, shows by illustration that longevity is not so much mat ter of inherited strength of consti- tuition as it is an individual affair Temperance, in eating as well as in drinking, must be practiced if per son would attain great age. This view of the great question of life is based upon common sense. If a man kills himself by eating and drinking he cannot be expected to live very long. Eating has destroyed many modest and unassuming man. Eating has caused the uutimely death of numer- ous missionaries.
 The Boston Transcript commends the courage of the Connecticut young woman who recently married a Chinese graduate of Yale, adding that it "might be claimed for her that she is type of the truly ideal American patriot, as she gives herself and her life as sacrifice to the complication and practical furtherance of the great American idea, that in the United States, all peoples, races and colors, meet on perfect equality and assimi- late" The truth is, regardless of the T'ranscripfs defense, that the young lady, knowing how difficult it is for Connecticut women to find husbands their own husbands, we mean-mar- ried the almond-eyed gentleman in a sort of self-defense. If she had been anxious to prove that the United States is a country where colors assim- Hate she might have won the love of some sleeping car porter; or, if more romantically inclined, she could have gone to the Indian Territory, married a "buck" and proved her patriotism by hoeing his corn.
The Arkansaw traveler., 1887-07-23
DID NOT FEEL AT HOME.

Wife (to husband who has just re- turned from visit)-"So you intend to go back again some time."
 Husband-"Yes.D
 Wife-"You must have felt per- fectly at home"
 Husband-"Oh, no; I enjoyed my self very much"

What Maryland Needs.

1t must be anything but pleasant specta-
Gle for the average Maryland farmer, the Bal
timore Herald very truthfully remarks, to see
thousands of immigrants yearly carried west
ward from Baltimore without any effort being
made to attract settlers and farm laborers to
the fertile lands and salubrous surroundings
of MY MaryIan 1t may be true that the
virgin soil of the great West and Northwest
will yield heavy crops without fertilizers, but
tkeIe are disadvantages which more than
counterbalance the wondrous fertility Of the
Western lands.
To begin with. the immigrant who settles
in Maryland is spared the expense Of long
railroad journey. and the ordeal of exposure
TO climate which must strike Linn as being
distressingly hot in summer and piercingiy
cold in winter In Maryland the operations OF
the farmer are seldom interrupted for more
than two months in the year. There are 10
tornadoes, no, disastrous floods: no long.
weary and dangerous journeys to market
The immigrant of any European nationality,
can lind parts Of Maryland that will suit-in
better than his native land. Probably there
is no other state in the Union which offers
such varied food products, such protusion OF
vegetables, of fish, Of fruit, Of truck. Land
can be obtained on easy terms, and merchants
are as accommodating as prudence will allow,
many overstepping the bounds in the desire
to show hospitality and give encouragement to
new corners.
The next Legislature owes it to itself, and
to the farmers and landowners by whom the
members were largely elected. to see thpt there
is established in this state a Bureau OF Immi
grafton, of Il character similar to that estab-
lished in all the Western and many Of the
Southern States. In Southern Maryland there
are hundreds and thousands Of acres lying an
titled. and likely to remain untitled, simply
because no steps have been taken to divert
portion Of the tide Of immigration in this di-
rection. II is safe to say that any money en-
pended in such an effort would returned ten
fold within as many years.

The Mount Vernon Estate.

The Mount Vernon estate, where the re-
mains of Washington lie entombed, has been
enlarged by the addition of tract Of land of

While Oh his way up the Potomac in his
Yacht Atlanta Mr.. Gould stopped at Mount
Vernon aud was shown around the grounds.
He expressed efeat interest in the place and
the admirable manner in which 1t is cared
for, In the course If converse on The super

was much needed to protect the property from
Mr. Gould Immediately au-
thorzed the purchase Of the lend at his eX-
pense, and il has been bought and turned over
to the Mount Vernon regents The property
was purchased from Law renee and Elizabeth
Washington, great grand nephew and niece
of Wasl,in. ,on, for 81 800. Their father was
the last member Of the Washington family to
sell his share Of the original site to the ladies'
of the Mount Vernon Association. The new
made, afford an unobstructed view up and
down the river fiom the mansion, and at the
same time prevent outsiders from building
frame houses too near to the mansion or es-
tabisling pleasure gardens that might be OBJ
iectional to the visitors to the tomb.
At tie recent assembly of the regents of Mt
Vernon the Importance of preserving from de-
cay the old tomb Of Washington, located on
the bluff overlooking the Potomac, was taken
under consideration. This tomb was erected
by Lawrence Washington, elder half-brother
of George Washington. 1t it built OF sand
stone aud was. at the time of its erection,
doubtless regarded an imposing structure.
Therein were deposited the remains OF Gener-
al and Lady Washington, aud from it they
were removed TO the present new tomb, which
was erected 10y the executors OF Gen. Washing
ton upon the spot selected by him before his
death. The old tomb has, however, not been
allowed to crumble o.decay. The facade has
been twice reconstructed recently by the pres
eut superintendent, Mr.. Harrison Ii. Dodge,
who. by direction Of the regents, has had it
treated with paratine by the Caifall process,
Which will doubtless render further repairs
unnecessary.

The Decay of Sectionalism.

There is no condition of national pol
tiles more marked to-day than the evident
decay of sectionalism. For many years
even before the civil war, the sections
were bitter in their antagonism, the peo-
pie of the North and Of the South were
unsparing in their denunciation Of each
other, and the fires Of sectional hate
were KEEP burning by the ever varying
aspects of the long disputed question.
The war was the elimination and out
burst Of that feeling. Events subsequent
to the war served to keep fresh the mem
Dries of the unfortunate conflict; and.
although united in form, there was little
kindred or sympathetic feeling between
the States. For partisan and political
ends the wounds were often made to
bleed by unnatural and inconsiderate
utterarces on the hastings, and by SLAM
derous and distorted productions OIL the
part of the press The waving Of the
bloody shirt enabled many Il Republican
demagogue to step to power and intu-
ence. But fortunately the day when
such appeals could be effective has pass
ed, and new and more enlightened
and we trust more Christian, era has
dawped. Except for the frothy denun-
Citations of some petty fanatics, the pub
lie utterances of the past few years, more
particularly this year, have been ANNA
ted by spirit of brotherly love, and pa
triotic impulse. There seems to be a
common glory and pride in our common
country. The unity of the States seems
to be cementel by new ond more endu-
ring ties. Northern capital is seeking in
vestment in every avenue of trade and
enterprise in the South The East and
West are united in the most intimate and
cordial relations of commerce. Political
principles seem to be languishing for
want of sufficient lines of distinction :;
and party fealty is almost becoming sub
ordinate to personal magnetism. Repub-
licans are rallying at the name Of Blaine
with dangerous enthusiasm, forgetful
apparently of the grand old party
which was once their boast On the
fourth of July, Hon. John S. Wise, who
delivered an Grafton in Philadelphia was
introduced by Wa, amaker as the Repub-
lican candidate fer the Vice Presidency
This shows the current Of opinion in the
party, and means that sectionalism, hay
ing ceased to serve its purpose, will no
longer be made an issue, and the con-
test will be to break ''the solid South"
